A well told tale of star-crossed lovers
The story of the series was very good. It was part romance, part intrigue, and part mystery—all the things I love in a good story. The lead actresses in the series were amazing in their roles, and the actress who played Vi automatically made you fall in love with her and care about her well-being. Some twists and turns kept viewers on the edge of their seats until the end. That being said, this series made me think that there's still more left to discover in the novel. I hope will be a season 2 or an after story for this series because I want to know what happens next with these characters. On the whole, though, I very much enjoyed this series and can't wait to see the next story that Christine and Mae tackle next.Was this review helpful to you?
Underrated
Sooooo good! haven't seen anyone taking about this and is better that a lot of the dramas that are popular right now! love the characters, and the romance is so freaking cute. At the beginning a though that I wasn't going to like that the protagonist has powers but it it actually didn't bother me.Big thump ups!

disappointing
Time traveling. Girl kissers. Say those words and I'm sold. However, I was left feeling frustrated at the WHOLE PLOT, characterization and theme about 'sacrifice'.There is ZERO logic in the time traveling aspect. What I mean by that is simple. Jattawa's father repeatedly went back in time to save Vivi, and the sisters didn't remember a thing about that. How come they do remember it the final time their father did it? And why is he able to go years, decades back in time, but Jattawa can't?
And why was Vivi fated to die again and again? I know it's because of Four, but why could everything be changed except for Vivi's fate? Sadly, it's a failed attempt at making the story tragic. Sometimes dramas don't need unnecessary murder plots. I couldn't take ANYTHING seriously. Maybe I'm being too critical of this entire fantasy element. The thing is, it's relevant to the plot. It's supposed to make sense??
Of course there's a mean girl. Jattawa went back in time, told Kie some philosophical sh*t and now, she's genuinely apologizing to Four for all she's done! Make it make sense. People don't act like that in real life.
At least the romance was cute, although it was nothing life-changing. Also, I liked the sister dynamic between Jattawa and Vivi.

First of all, Vivi and Wa’s relationship gave me "Frozen" vibes—not entirely, but the sisterly love was definitely there. And it was absolutely adorable. The songs perfectly capture the romantic, emotional, and suspenseful moments, leaving you both happy and sad. For a supernatural romance, the VFX is impressively subtle, and credit goes to the production team, the director, and of course, the author Zezeho, who masterfully wove the fantasy and romance together. As a DC fan, the time-turning scenes reminded me of The Flash, but the unique blend of elements here is remarkable.
Most GL shows focus solely on the romantic connection between the leads, but this one made sure that the precious bond of familial love wasn’t overlooked. Unlike many other GL dramas, this one doesn't end with sudden steamy scenes or a wedding ceremony. Sure, we often expect that between the leads, and we do love it. But just imagine if this kind of ending were shown in a straight romance—people would call it a masterpiece. If you think the show should have ended with lovey-dovey kissing scenes simply because it’s a GL, you’re being biased. Wa and Four shared an emotional hug, which was just as powerful. The show also concluded with Four and Kie resolving their issues, thanks to Wa’s involvement (even though she was unaware of her role in it), hinting that Khun is a good friend of Wa’s—definitely not a potential boyfriend. It was a smart way to wrap up the series, giving supporting characters their due recognition alongside the leads. In my view, that makes the ending of this masterpiece even more meaningful. By the way, the girl who played Kie, Hlinghling did a great job.
So, why can't I give it a 10 out of 10? Well, there were a few plot holes that bothered me. For instance, the scene where Four was about to get shot, and Wa rushed to save her. The police intervened just in time, but that moment felt rushed—it could have been extended for better clarity. Also, I really missed Top (Shogun); he was so charming whenever he was on screen. Lastly, the show ended with Wa witnessing how Four and Kie resolved their rivalry, but it would have been more impactful if Four had turned around and realized Wa had been there for her all along. That small moment could have added an emotional punch to the ending.
When most of the GL shows are dragging plot to 12 episodes without any development, look how R4U did a great job just within 8 episodes. I recommend this drama to everyone, it's worth a shot.

One of the best Thai GLs! we want more :)
I really liked the couple, how they portrayed P'Four as masc & the chemistry, dynamic between them was nice. Now I want more of them, how are they living in future, is P'Four a national level athlete or businesswoman now ? The plot was well executed & I like how they didn't drag anything, everything was on point! I really want a special episode now. I hope we get to see ChristineMae together in another GL soon !!!Was this review helpful to you?
The ending is so mess up
The whole story is good. Even this series contain with sci-fi and fantasy.Until eps , this series is still good. I like the vibe between Wa and Four.
Its kinda different from other GL, especially when you have a power to turn back time or see future.
But, the last episode with their weird last scene between Kie and Four ?
Oh C'mon. It would be nice if they put married scene or future scene about Wa and Four, isnt it ?
Overall, this series is good and sad.
Because its feel like,
No matter how much I turning back time, I will always find you and remember you. Even you're forget about me.

Star Crossed Lovers with a Fantasy Twist
“Reverse 4 You” is an interesting take on “star-crossed lovers” who have to overcome their fate and find a way to be together, not just with each other, but with their loved ones. I believe that the show would have benefitted from telling stories of Jattawa (Mae Methakarn Anektanasuwan), Vivi (Manao Natnicha Polsombat) and Four’s (Christine Gulasatree Michalsky) past and/or alternative lives to drive the story and add tension, instead of following just one timeline, because it left the ending feeling too rushed and the pay off was lacking because some crucial things were not explained or dealt with. With enough care and thought, this could have been a very compelling series, but it because boring very quickly due to the writers focusing on all the wrong aspects of it.Read the complete article here-

Average, but a nice watch.
Finally!! A big budget Thai gl!! Although Thai gls are getting more popular and more of a budget, I haven't seen any as well produced as this one. So props to whoever made that happen.As for the actual show, it was good. I loved the lead's relationship with her sister; it was very sweet. The little sister was also pretty funny. The romance was good, too; I'll always enjoy an enemies-to-lovers type thing. Seeing a gl with a sci-fi plot was refreshing, given that we don't get that often.
My score is what it is because although this show was good, it wasn't anything I was waiting so urgently for each week. In other words, it was just average—a nice watch, nothing too life-changing.

Overall It Was Great
Like other people, I think this series should've have more than 8 episodes, but I think they did a great job for the limited amount of episodes they had. Some questionable decision with the last part of the final episode....Regardless, P'Four and Wa's relationship were very healthy and green, especially since there was no endless miscommunication with each other, and they do everything they can to support and help each other. Thank goodness no guys got in between them as well. I'm glad that aside from romance, family relationship played a big role too. I'm glad Vivi was back and continued her role as the captain shipper. Christine and Mae worked very well with each other, so I hope to see them more together.Was this review helpful to you?
Wasted Potential...
I remember when i saw the trailer for this series, i was so excited and amaze and was really looking forward to watch it!!! But when i watch it, i was underwhelm. The story has a lot of loopholes. And a lot of the characters choices are very questionable. Plus four's acting (crying) seems like she is talking to a wall. The ending is weak and i think they could have done it better.Was this review helpful to you?
Final Episode = Closure
Right before the final episode, I was angry at this drama towards the end.The little sister is my favorite character. I'm happy about how things turned out for the sisters.
The extra scene after the false credits feels like some of the best closure I've received from a drama.
It was very satisfying to see growth and maturity in the characters over time.
Not all of my questions were answered, but the most important ones were addressed. I'll take it.
It's worth a watch from beginning to end. It was painful to wait for the episodes to be released and the cliffhangers made me feel frustrated. I even waited a day or two to continue the next available episode. Either way, great drama.

queria poder voltar no tempo e arrumar esse plot.
um gl? reverse 4 youum gl BOM? ...
reverse 4 you definitivamente foi uma série, bem ok, nada demais e muito de menos.
bom casting, equipe carismática, me diverti mais vendo os bts e entrevista do que a série em si, infelizmente não houveram episódios o suficiente pra um plot tão complexo e profundo cheio de viagens temporais.
a história em si, me entreteve, PORÉM ENTRETANTO TODAVIA, fica bem confuso com tanta volta no tempo e linha temporal simultânea e visão do futuro sem explicação prévia, sem contar que ate agora não entendi direito o plot das madrasta e vó da four.
a atuação deixou a desejar em alguns momentos, principalmente a christine sem um pingo sequer de expressão facial em alguns momentos cruciais, mas em outras ocasiões, entregaram super, então foi um grande mais ou menos.
trilha sonora meh, nada memorável.
e é isso, vou tentar ler a novel qualquer hora, sinto que tem bastante potencial e o mesmo foi desperdiçado.
